It's still a business, games are made solely for our enjoyment, first and foremost they are made to make a lot of cash...
and if games stop making "profits" but still costs a lot, like salaries for devs/support, equipment/hardware/software/licenses, rent, ernegy-/traffic-costs for the servers, inflation, etc pp. they will eventually get shut down.
I personally just don't see how they currently make money, especially in this current time we are in with the inflation and high energy costs on top of the bad and limited skins at the shop, no subsciption model present, no buyable DLCs/Expansions/Addons and no new players.

And? That's our latest concern, let them concern about this Amazon is a endless bag with money, so i doubt they starve because of New World =)) Maybe they compensate with LA stuffs instead since i believe is the exactly same dev team.

Amazon just laid off 100k people and announced hiring reductions...

Even if they have endless money, the shareholders want their part of it and clearly Amazon isn't the type of company to waste time on money sinks like NW. They've cancelled other games for less failure and they did so when the economy was far healthier.

Currently there is no evidence that the game studio segment of Amazon was affected by the 100k layoff nor specifically new world's staff. Not to say that it hasn't but it seems layoffs are in other sectors of the company.

Also a week and a half ago. Amazon announced they're buying One Medial for 3.9 billion and getting into the health care racket:

100K lay off is nasty

Its seemingly though less than a 10% reduction since they up to that point employed over 1.1million workers. Once they add One Medical that's gonna jump signifantly.

I'm not of course defending amazon by any means just saying its a very small dent in their workforce by business considerations.

You need 600 or so GS though to be any good in pvp BUT many are returning I am told ?

[MADfkSCORPIO#IMWHOIM]

The games should be improved and put subscription, as this way be selective.
All multinationals or huge companies will not have an emotional relationships with you, just you’re wallet and clock. But the games is pretty ♥♥♥♥♥ up, tbh. I like it’s survival and realistic aspect.

[Vurado88]

What did you expect? Only 25-30k players on daily basis, no mounts, saying penis in chat gets you 24h ban, end game = endless chest grind and the list goes and and on. So of course they slowly shutting down servers.

[VonFIDDE]

Even 20k daily players is a fine number, if the game goes down to 500-1000 then sure it's in the dangerzone. Still with the upcoming stuff and hopefully an expansion later this year i bet it will go closer to 50k daily players.

btw.. if you spend a few minutes looking.. clearly they are still invested in the game ' as of now '.. just check out their ' open jobs page '.. quick look an they have like 4 or 5 openings for New World.. I like that 2 of them are ' combat designer '.. which leads me to believe they know its not good =) An its time for some new blood heh ..

https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/2165399/combat-designer

their job opening does not say how I identify myself as and what my pronounces are. I think its all a cover up

wasn't this post from back in July? 2022?

[Lord Haart]

Shawn Ruddy. Then there was the Woolley one. Sad. So sad, there. And that.

[Two Girls One Cup]

They merged servers. Not killing off characters?
